Calavera

So I know I have certain hang ups about being a 20-something year old quilter. A lot of the time, people are very supportive and positive and love to share. But there are some times that I still get asked, “Did your mom make that for you?” The answer is no, no she did not. She in fact, gave me the sideways are-you-sure-you-know-what-you’re-doing look when I told her I wanted to make a purse with a skull on it. I tried to explain that a Mexican sugar skull from the Day of the Dead would be so much more fun than a regular gothic or Halloween skull, especially if you did it in Japanese taupes. This is one of those times where you have to see it to believe it.
